President Donald Trump, while in Japan on May 27, made reference to comments from one of his aides regarding North Korea’s recent missile tests, saying he had a different point of view.

National security adviser John Bolton said on May 24 that North Korea’s recent tests “no doubt” violated U.N. Security Council resolutions. Speaking to reporters at a press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Trump said he believes the missiles tests were beside the point.
